Transportation to the Festival

Transportation from Regional Cities & the Philadelphia Suburbs:

The Boltbus and Megabus provide safe, comfortable and inexpensive transportation to Philadelphia from NYC, certain areas in NJ, Boston, DC, Baltimore and other cities. Check out the links above for stop locations and schedules. Both the Bolt Bus and Megabus will drop you off at 30th and Market Street (Amtrak 30th Street Station), which is located right next to the Market-Frankford Subway. (See the Once in Philadelphia - Getting to the LMHA section below.)

For trains from NJ and NYC, you can take Amtrak or a combination of NJ Transit and SEPTA to 30th St. Station. You can buy a joint ticket from NYC and northern New Jersey, combining NJ Transit and SEPTA trains. From Amtrak 30th St. Station you can transfer to the Market-Frankford Subway Line. (See the Once in Philadelphia - Getting to the LMHA section below.)

SEPTA regional rail trains will take you from all Philadelphia International Airport terminals to Philadelphia 30th Street Station. There you can transfer to the Market-Frankford Subway Line to get to the LMHA. (See the Once in Philadelphia - Getting to the LMHA section below.)

This subway line runs all night on Friday & Saturday. The subway is replaced by a night owl bus on the other nights of the week.

Option 2 - Lyft and Uber are so inexpensive now that they are competitive with the cost of public transit. Make sure to set up these apps in your phone before the festival (with your credit card information already included) so you don't have to worry about that when you want to get home from the milonga at 3 am!
